Point Nemo

Most likely a remote spot somewhere in the ocean.

The most remote place in the world is known as Point Nemo, and it's in the middle of the South Pacific, roughly 3,000 kilometers from uninhabited land.

The date is unknown, but tickets may soon be available to view the light show.

In March of 2001, it was reported that people had paid an average of $6,500 for seats on flights from the island of Fiji across the Pacific Ocean to witness the re-entry of the Russian Mir space station.

You know, we'd have no control over where it would land and that... could potentially be a really bad day for someone on the ground.

So this is why NASA are now asking for ideas from industry about how to either boost it back to 600 kilometres or even to help it perform a controlled re-entry to somewhere remote, which would probably end up being Point Nemo.

That's the spacecraft graveyard that's out in the Pacific, and it's about 3,000 kilometres from absolutely anything.

But either way, we've got to do something.

I would

rather jump out of a plane and land at Point Nemo in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and have to lay there for three days waiting for help than schedule a dental appointment.

Because

your deep water is my dentist, okay? We each have our rational fear.

So they get sent beyond that and that's kind of in a safe space far away from Earth.

for them to be left, or they can get deorbited and sent to Point Nemo, which is a point in the Pacific Ocean that is the furthest point from any landmass on Earth.

So does that mean there's all this stuff at the bottom of the ocean? Probably.

Wow.

...

Point Nemo, do we?

Yeah.

People go out to Point Nemo.

But it's not of a shipping lane, is it?

No, but I mean, there may be a shipping lane 'cause there's, there's the island out there-
